Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on the site of a proposed residential development. The development area was situated close to Fenn Creek, where several sites of archaeological interest were recorded, associated with a buried land surface. Ten 40m-long evaluation trenches were excavated across the development area. The only archaeological feature recorded was an undated small ditch, uncovered in an evaluation trench excavated on the western edge of the development area. The ditch was probably part of an earlier drainage system, replaced by land drains in the 19th century. Several natural features were investigated; one of which contained a small quantity of fired clay. No evidence of a buried land surface or the gravel terrace deposits which lay to the east of the development were encountered. [Au(abr)] |
